Dog grooming insurance
What is dog grooming insurance?
Dog grooming insurance is specialist cover designed for professional pet groomers. You may also hear it called pet grooming insurance, or pet groomers insurance, dog groomers insurance, but they all serve the same purpose.
It protects you from the risks of handling and caring for pets. It covers injuries, loss, or damage that can happen during grooming, whether you run a full salon, offer a home-based dog or cat grooming, or work as a mobile groomer.
Why do dog groomers need insurance?
Even the most experienced groomers can face accidents or unexpected incidents. A nervous cat might scratch, a dog could slip on a wet floor, or a dryer might malfunction during grooming causing injury.
Having dog groomers insurance in place means you’re not left handling vet bills or claims alone. It also reassures clients that their pet is in safe, professional hands. For many pet owners, knowing you have groomers insurance is a deciding factor when choosing a groomer.
